new happenings!

there are new happenings to report! 

i will be pre-gaming the app trail with the foothills trail of north and south carolina in a few weeks. it's a 77-mile trail and some people on whiteblaze have apparently done it in three days. i think that's way optimistic and i took off five days for it. 

i went to half moon outfitters on folly the other day and bought the trail guide to the foothills. i had to get out of there fast, though, because when i walked upstairs and started looking at the packs, i started grinning from ear to ear. i looked at the gregory jade 60, but the price tag on it was $250. i reckon i might be able to get it cheaper on ebay. 

i talked to bill earlier. he said gregory is all he hikes with. he also recommended the msr whisperlite. i figure that's probably the stove i'll wind up getting. i've not really heard anything negative about it. 

i'm gonna start looking up recipes for the trail. =)

  1. You have good taste in packs if you like Gregory packs...If it doesn't say Gregory on it you won't find it on my back and the MSR Whisperlite stove is the one I use too...
    BTW Angie...I'm LoneRidgeRunner on whiteblaze.net
